How it works : Thorncaster Sliver
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
If you control multiple Thorncaster Slivers and a Sliver you control attacks, each ability will trigger separately.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
If you change the creature type of a Sliver you control so it’s no longer a Sliver, it will no longer be affected by its own ability. Its ability will continue to affect other Sliver creatures you control.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
Abilities that Slivers grant, as well as power/toughness boosts, are cumulative. However, for some abilities, like flying, having more than one instance of the ability doesn’t provide any additional benefit.
No other card is named in this ruling.
